Driver Extreme (DRX-1518) - DRX-1518 Premium Mini Coaxial Cable Assembly with Patented DX259 Connector, M213 Quantum Flex Cable, 18', Black

Description:

Good arteries are important to your heart like good coax cable is important to your radio.

This 18 foot coax is professionally assembled by Driver Extreme utilizing exacting techniques, high quality connectors, and M213(TM) Quantum-Flex double shielded coaxial cable.

M213(TM) Quantum-Flex is a type of coaxial cable often used for amateur radio. The cable has a characteristic impedance of 50 Ohm. M213(TM) Quantum-Flex is a "thinner" more flexible version with the electrical characteristics of RG-213U.

Most two-way radio communication systems, such as marine, CB radio, amateur, police, fire, WLAN antennas etc., are designed to work with a 50 Ohm cable.

M213(TM) Quantum-Flex cable is to be used in a "single antenna" installation only.

About M213(TM) Quantum Flex Cable

In keeping with their extreme theme, Driver Extreme chose to offer a cable like no other! Similar to Mini 8 being a miniaturized version of RG8U, M213(TM) delivers RG213 like performance in a mobile installation size cable. They took the standard of RG213, reduced the diameter, doubled the shielding, and thru the application of modern dielectric materials, improved the overall flexibility.

In comparison to Mini 8, the M213(TM) operating parameters remain more consistent regardless of bend radius. The use of a polyethylene dielectric keeps heavy gauge conductor more centered resulting in consistent impedance with improved power handling. Compared to foam dielectric based cables, they have greatly minimized the effects of impedance bumps caused by bending, pinching, or crushing resulting in a more consistent system performance. Driver Extreme M213(TM) coax sets the standard for maximizing your system performance.

The cable that breaks all the rules:

• M213(TM) uses an ultra-fine high strand count pure copper center conductor. No copper plated aluminum or steel conductors here. Pure copper assures minimal series resistance, which is what it takes to maximize power transfer without loss. The fine strand count means more surface area and greater flexibility.
• Driver Extreme used modern poly dielectrics and state of the art manufacturing processes to offer improved flexibility without any reduction in power handling. M213(TM) handles the power and holds it's impedance even when bent unlike similar sized foam dielectric cables.
• M213(TM)'s double shielding eliminates unwanted signal leakage and by not bonding the foil to the poly dielectric, they've reduced thermal losses, improved flexibility and made cable termination even simpler.
• A high strand count tinned copper braided shield (96%) covers a free-floating aluminum foil shield (100%) which makes M213(TM) ultra-low loss.
• Driver Extreme took the standard of RG213, reduced the diameter, doubled the shielding, and through the application of modern dielectric material, improved the overall flexibility. Driver Extreme M213(TM) coax sets the standard for maximizing your system performance.
• For consistency, reliability and flexibility look no further than M213(TM) Quantum-Flex double shielded low loss coax.

Patented Connector

The DX259 patented* 2-piece male UHF connector allows for installation through a 12mm hole. Direct soldering to the center conductor eliminates signal loss and increases power handling ability unlike other adaptor style UHF connectors. *(Pat. 9,071,012)

• 2-piece male UHF Connector
• Patented DX259 connector allows for installation through a 12mm hole
• Direct soldering to the center conductor eliminates signal loss
• This connector increases power handling ability

The ability of any conductor starts from it's core. Driver Extreme builds the DX259 connector with a heavy gauge solid copper core. It's patented technology.
